    Earthquake Tremor in Melbourne

    Hi Everyone, Just an hour or so ago, we felt the earth literally move for around 5 seconds where we were. The house was shaking, the walls were rattling and it's the first time I've experienced anything like this. Anyone else in Melbourne feel that as well? Thankfully it only lasted a short...

    Can Robin Uthappa Make a Comeback

    When Robin Uthappa burst onto the scene, I thought he was a really talented young batsman headed for promising things. However, like a lot of young Indian players gaining some degree of success and being offerred fat IPL contracts, he seemingly got a bit arrogant and lost his way. With strong...

    I Met The Legend

    I'd like to share this with all of you. Just today I had the chance to meet Glenn McGrath at his book signing in our Westfield Shopping Centre here in Melbourne. It was an honour to meet the living legend in person and I'm delighted to be one of the first people in Melbourne to get a signed...

    Favourite Songs When You Were A Child

    I thought it'd be an interesting thread concept to list some favourite songs when you were a child. Pick an age when you were a child and list some of your favourite songs here to go back down memory lane. I'll list some of the favourites I had when I was 7 years old. Now granted my musical...

    Anti Virus Software

    There's a whole range of Anti Virus software out there. Some good, some not so good. While others decide to pay for Anti Virus software, others opt for the popular freeware versions that are out there. Which Anti Virus Software do you use? I personally use AVG. AVG has been pretty good for me...

    Pommie Mbangwa

    How awesome is he when he's commentating? :) One of my favourite commentators from the younger brigade of commentators. Kind of like the Zimbabwean Michael Slater without being as over the top as Slats is at times. That being said, Michael Slater's one of my favourites too. But I've loved...

    Ajit Agarkar vs Sreesanth in Limited Overs

    Bearing in mind that this comparison is in Limited Overs Cricket only (ODI's and Twenty20's), who would you rather have as a bowler in your squad. Ajit Agarkar gets a lot of stick on this board, for test matches this is deserved. But he's been a leading ODI bowler for India over many years...

    VVS Laxman vs Mark Waugh

    To continue on with the flavour of these comparison threads. Who would you have in your squad? Both were arguably the most elegant batsmen in their respective teams and both have played many match winning knocks. In addition, both are terrific slips fielders. There's plenty of things common...

    Brett Lee - Future Australian Captain?

    With all the fiasco surrounding Australia's spirit of cricket and the Australian captaincy, I couldn't help but think of Brett Lee being a brilliant ambassador for Australian Cricket. He plays the game really hard, but the man is always fair. All the talk is around Michael Clarke taking over...

    RIP Richard Carleton

    My thoughts and sympathies go to Richard Carelton's family and friends. It's very saddening to see the loss of a great journalist like Carelton. He was one of the most hard hitting journalists in Australia and was always on his game. I've always had a lot of respect for him and he was probably...

    See You All Later

    It is with sadness that I wish to announce my official departure from CW as a CW Staff Member and as a member on the CW Forums. In June 2002, Andre Maddocks emailed me, inviting me to come and join a little website called Cricket Web. Ofcourse at the time CW was just involved with Australia...

    Metric System for America?

    I've always wondered why America doesn't convert their entire system of measurement into metric. I think they're the only country other than Liberia and Burma who use the old method of measurement. I think it'll be great for their business sector and their educational system if metric is...

    Back Home in Australia

    Hey Everyone, I'm back home in Melbourne, Australia now after a month long trip to New Delhi, India. It's just amazing and unbelievable to be back home and back on the CW Forums. India was an amazing experience, which challenged, infuriated and amazed me all at the same time. But there is no...

    Australia Votes - Election 2004 Thread

    A lot of people here (including myself) living in Australia are of voting age. I would love to hear people's views on the current fight for leadership of Australia between John Howard and Mark Latham. Who do you support, do you even care? Or are you going to do the famous 'donkey vote'...
